Dear Editor:Since the charity’s inception, The Tribune has been tremendously loyal to Cycle for Survival. The paper’s advocacy for our cause has significantly contributed to our New Jersey success; large numbers of Livingston people have joined the battle, in good part due to your coverage. We thank you!So much has changed due to COVID, and we are all distracted by the pandemic. But one thing did not change. People got cancer, and people died from cancer. Fact: more people in our country lost their lives to cancer than to the virus.Despite the fact that thousands of local residents and their networks continue to advocate for our Cycle for Survival’s mission, to fundraise for rare cancer research, there are probably some who have not personally witnessed this inspirational, high energy dance party – a true Celebration of Life! Diverse religions, races, educational and economic status, people from all walks of life including doctors; survivors, and more, all bonding to find those cures.On Saturday, May 14, Cycle For Survival will hold an outdoor event in town and you are invited to watch! No obligation. Rain or shine! We will be spinning from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Haines Pool (between Livingston High School and Memorial Tennis Courts). No pets. Get some friends and be part of the fastest growing athletic cancer charity in the USA.
